My host is OS X and I'm running Windows 7 as guest in VirtualBox 3.0.4. Network in NAT-mode. Having problems with FTP transfers. After a while (20-30 files) the transfers drops in speed and finally halts. I then have to reconnect and it works for another round.

Any ideas how to make this work?

Which way are you ftp'ing, i.e. which end is the client and which is the server? – jrg Aug 25 '09 at 15:22
The server is on a web host. I have tried a few and there are problem with all of them, so the issue must be in my network setup. I have tried two clients in my Win 7 host, FlashFXp and FileZilla, both of them is not working well and most of the time I can only transfer a few files. I have read a bit about port forwarding and that it might fix the issue, gonna try that later. – jesperlind Aug 25 '09 at 18:03

I found the solution. I switched adapter from NAT to bridged network (I think it's called like that on a english system). FTP transfers now works great.
